6 anledningar till att din mens kan bli sen förutom att vara gravid
Oavsett om du får din mens var 28:e dag som en klocka eller har ett flöde som föredrar att komma och gå som det vill, känns det ofta som att ha en menstruation med MIA som en anledning till oro. Ditt sinne rinner fritt av tankar på graviditetstest och ultraljud och att se ditt barn ta sin examen - ett imaginärt liv som du har skapat och vårdat och hjälpt till att växa, allt eftersom den där lilla blodbiten du hoppades hitta i morse inte klarade det. utseende. Oavsett om graviditet just nu är ditt mål eller om du avvaktar tillfälligt eller för alltid, är ett foster i livmodern verkligen inte den enda orsaken till en menstruation. Här är 6 anledningar, förutom att vara gravid, till att din mens kan vara sen.
1. Stress
Om du har varit trasig på jobbet eller hanterat andra stressfaktorer, särskilt traumatiska, kan din mens vara sen. Detta kallas hypotalamisk amenorré . "Hypotalamus är hjärnans centrum och styr reproduktionen. Det producerar ett hormon som signalerar produktionen av andra hormoner som behövs för ägglossning”, enligt Shady Grove Fertility. Så om du har varit stressad över något - stort som smått - gör ditt bästa för att hitta tid för avkoppling. Om du har upplevt en traumatisk situation bör du ringa din läkare och söka en professionell åsikt.
2. Att vara sjuk
De fantastiska saker din kropp gör är alla sammanflätade på någon nivå. När ett system inte fungerar så bra som det borde påverkas de andra också. Det är som ett spel om överlevnad – vilken kroppslig process är den viktigaste just nu? Om du har en vanlig förkylning, influensa eller någon annan typ av sjukdom, är din menstruationscykel troligen den första som stängs av för att få fart på resten av din kropp igen.
3. Viktfluktuationer
Säg hej till din hypotalamus igen (centrum i hjärnan som styr reproduktiva hormoner, som östrogen). När du upplever extrema fluktuationer i din vikt kan mängden östrogen som frigörs påverka om du får mens eller inte. Om du går ner mycket i vikt snabbt kommer din kropp inte att producera tillräckligt med östrogen. För mycket viktökning och din kropp kommer att få för mycket östrogen. Oavsett vilket kan detta vara en anledning till att din mens är sen.
4. Ändra ditt schema
Mindre förändringar i ditt schema kommer inte att påverka din menstruationscykel men intensiva sådana, som att byta till nattpass eller ha jetlag från att resa över världen (du jetsetter, du!), kan det. Den goda nyheten är att det är tillfälligt. När din kropp vänjer sig till ditt nya schema, bör din mens återupptas som normalt. Om de inte gör det är det värt att ringa din läkare om.
5. Hormonell obalans
Hormoner spelar naturligtvis en stor roll i din menstruationscykel. De bestämmer tyngden, längden och till och med om din mens kommer överhuvudtaget. Om dina hormoner är ur spel kanske du inte får mens. En orsak kan vara PCOS . En annan kan vara endometrios . Om du misstänker att så är fallet, ring din läkare. De kommer att kunna sätta dig på en väg för att hjälpa till att reglera symtomen.
6. Din preventivmedel
Ja, även om du inte hoppar över sockerpillren kan din preventivmedel redigera din menstruationscykel. Oavsett om du har en spiral, får Depo-sprutor eller är på p-piller, kan de hormonella förändringarna som orsakas av preventivmedel ibland eliminera eller minska din mens. Även om detta ibland kan vara en välkommen bieffekt, är det bra att veta att det faktiskt är orsaken till en sen eller obefintlig mens.
Om du tror att du är gravid är det alltid en bra idé att ta ett test. Annars, prata med din läkare om din sena mens - de kan ge värdefull insikt och lugna ditt sinne. Om du letar efter en hållbar, stressfri period, kolla in vårt utbud av tidstypiska produkter .

Hi Nike,
Being sick can absolutely affect your cycle and flow. The amazing things your body does are all intertwined on some level. When one system isn’t working as well as it should, the others are affected, too. It’s like a game of survival – which bodily process is the most important right now? If you have a common cold, the flu, or some other type of illness, your menstrual cycle is likely the first to be shut down in order to get the rest of your body back up to speed.
Taking medication can also influence the menstrual cycle and cause periods to be late. Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, and many things can affect your hormone function and balance and cause it to get off balance.
If the period doesn’t return until next month, if you think you might be pregnant or generally if you are worried, I would recommend consulting a doctor. Please keep in mind that we are no medical professionals and therefore cannot make a remote diagnosis. Only a medical professional can make the necessary examinations.

Hi Mwiche!
Hi Favour!
Sorry to hear your period is late! I totally understand that it causes stress and insecurity.
Many reasons might delay your period, such as stress, hormonal imbalance, or lifestyle changes like a new schedule. Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, and many things can affect your hormone function and balance.
Delayed periods can always be an indication of pregnancy. Please note that the easiest way to find out if you are pregnant is with an at-home pregnancy test.
The morning after pill isn’t a contraceptive method and there is therefore a chance of both pregnancy and STD. The pill contains a huge amount of hormones which can cause changes in the menstrual cycle for even a few months after use. Please refer to the instruction leaflet of the morning after pill for information on its possible effects on the period and a possible delay and/or ask your doctor or in the pharmacy.
If the period doesn’t return until next month, if you think you might be pregnant or generally if you are worried, we recommend consulting a doctor.

Evening plz ooo
I need urgent response,I menstruated on the 3rd of August , I took Clomid on 5th to 10th , I didn’t see my period till now and have carried out both urine and blood test both come out negative pls can I still test positive or the period is coming
I normally have 24 days cycle and I last saw my period on 9 August and had unprotected sex on 13 August then took plan B on the 15 of August and my period was supposed to come out on 1 September and is yet to come out. I did test with and it was negative but I haven’t seen my period yet
My name is mwiche and I am 19 years old.in june I once suffered from urinary tract infection which I think caused my period to come early on the 12 of august that too for just 4 day without heavy flow.Then I had unprotected sex the 19 of august on the 8 th day of my menstrual cycle but took the morning after pill on hour 30 mins later after the sex. Today is the 4th of September and I still haven’t seen my period do you think I’m pregnant.though my breast are full and heavy and soft I also feel a sharp small pain in my waist when I get up.
Hi Rashmi,
sorry to hear your period is late. Many reasons might delay your period, such as stress, hormonal imbalance, or lifestyle changes like a new schedule. Being sick and taking some medication may also influence and mess up with your menstrual cycle. Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, and many things can affect your hormone function and balance.
Especially when you are young and started with your period it is common that the period is irregular. It may not come for several weeks. Or on the contrary, it may also happen that you just had your period and it is coming again quickly. Your body and hormones need to find their balance first and during this phase, which may take some time, it is common for the period to be irregular. This means it can be irregular when it comes to the length of the menstrual cycle, but also when it comes to the length and intensity of the period itself.
If the period doesn’t return until next month, if you think you might be pregnant or generally if you are worried, I would recommend consulting a doctor. Please keep in mind that we are no medical professionals and therefore cannot make a remote diagnosis. Only a medical professional can make the necessary examinations.

Hello, I’m 17 years old. This is my first time experiencing delayed period. Last month September I had my period but this month, I’m still waiting. I don’t have a boyfriend and im not sexually active. But I always take caffeine in the morning. According to my research, caffeine affects the menstruation and I’ve been stressing a lot and it affects my academic performance. November is near and I’m not having it. What should I do?
